   This was our first time dining at the restaurant celebrating a birthday. The ambiance, food and experience were great. The only feedback for improvement was our server. After taking our drink orders, it took her a long time to come back and assist us. Then took her a bit of time to make round to check if we needed anything else which we did, needed more drinks. She was not as friendly as the other staffs that came to assist us. Other than that, we would definitely come back.

   We had the pleasure of dining at Teleferic last night to celebrate my fiancé’s birthday, and it was an unforgettable experience! Their selection of tapas is fantastic, and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The gambas al ajillo were a standout! So flavorful that we had to order extra bread just to soak up every last bit of that garlicky, rich broth. The crab croquettes were equally delightful, crispy on the outside and wonderfully creamy inside. But the true star of the night was the lobster paella 🤤 a beautifully executed dish bursting with flavor. To elevate the experience even further, we paired it with the Albariño “La Caña Navia,” a crisp and refreshing white wine that complemented the seafood perfectly. I was floored by how well the wine’s bright, citrusy notes enhanced the flavors of the paella🥘 Beyond the incredible food, the service was exceptional. Our server, Biel, was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The restaurant’s ambiance is lively and festive. It is perfect for a celebratory night out. I can’t wait to return and explore more of their menu, but for anyone visiting, last night’s choices were absolutely worth recommending. A truly wonderful dining experience

   We’ve been to the Palo Alto and Walnut Creek locations several times and have always enjoyed our experiences, so we were so excited to see a Teleferic open in Long Beach; however our dinner did not live up to significantly better experiences at the other locations. Paella socarrat was burnt and took over an hour after ordering to come to the table after asking our server multiple times to kindly check on the order. Side dishes came out long before our mains and were completely finished by the time the mains came. Duplicate sides or some other tables’ sides were mistakenly sent to the table and sent back. Our server was kind when he was at our table but rarely checked on us. We repeatedly had to ask other servers and bus boys to refill hot water. Overall, just a disappointing time when we’ve had great experiences at the other locations and did not live up to our expectations.

   Hola, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We truly regret that your visit to our Long Beach location didn’t meet the high standards we strive for. We understand the frustration caused by the long wait for your paella and the timing issues with your side dishes. Regarding the socarrat, we’d like to clarify that while it’s a key part of a well-prepared paella, it can sometimes give the impression of being burnt. We’re sorry if this was the case during your visit, and we’ll be sure to address it with the team to ensure consistency moving forward. We appreciate your kind words about the service and will work to improve the timing and overall experience. If you’d like to discuss this further, feel free to reach out to us via email at info@telefericbarcelona.c... Gracias!

   This is my third time dining at Teleferic (2x in Long Beach, 1x in Palo Alto) and I have to say, it’s awesome!! Hands down the best Spanish tapas in the US we’ve come across since visiting Madrid 5 years ago. The food - croquettes are soooo good! The tomato carpaccio is the bomb! Cauliflower had us going back for more and the cocktails topped it all off making Teleferic our new favorite!! Make reservations and head down for an incredible dining experience!! Love it! 5 Stars!!!

   Tapas and entrees were basically the same size. Gratuity is included and well above the quality of service. Entrees took 50 min+ and were staggered. Waitress at one point was avoiding our table. The floor manager walked around but not once checked on us. Very expensive . The ambiance is beautiful but incredibly loud. Will not return.

   I really love tapas and wanted to like this place. The restaurant itself is very nice and our waiter was helpful and friendly. We ordered the following: Tuna tacos - probably the best dish, the tuna was fresh on a bed of avocado with crisp taco shell Crab croquettes - crispy on outside with creamy crab. My complaint is all the sauces/toppings tasted the same. Empanadas - cute plating on skewers but the filling was too dry. The same sauce as above was on the side. Cali-flower - same sauce and the veggies could have been cooked about a minute more, too Al dente Paella bomb - cute presentation with a syringe to infuse into the paella square filled with rice and crisp outer shell. The whole item was too dry.

    While it’s a cute place with great views and lighting the menu is a bit limited. Especially for those who don’t eat seafood. Some more options would’ve been appreciated.

We’d love to have you back to explore more of our offerings and find the perfect dish for you! Gracias!
